This is the first potential action research experiment that could come out of the Sustainable Lives process.
Building community relationships - Julies birthday
This document called Time Together Gorseinon is a proposal to collaboratively remodel services in a local community.
It will bring commissioners, provider and citizens together in a close partnership to build mutually supportive relationships and to put people at the centre of setting priorities and developing services.
Time Together has 3 aims:
- To create a collaborative Time Together Alliance of social care and support provider organisations, commissioners, and community leisure groups to work together to coordinate and develop person centred support to people living in the Gorseinon area.
- To develop in partnership with the citizens of Gorseinon a membership based Time Together Network within which members can contribute to the work of the project and the social care and support of each other and are rewarded by time credits through which they can access community activities and events and eventually support provided by other network members.
- To use the Swansea People social networking website to support equal and open communication between agencies, citizens and community groups to support the work of the Alliance and the Network.
At the moment this idea is really up for discussion, but it would be a practical way forward to creating empowering citizen led social care while building social capital within our communities.
